Testing for tomorrow

abstract:
The article focuses on the emergence of sustainability tests, whose aim is to ensure that new initiatives are environmentally friendly. Natural resources are being used by humans at a pace that is beyond what the planet can sustain. This has led to the development of explicit sustainability tests for assessing new environment protection plans. The author describes measures that are being taken to ensure a positive impact on the environment. City officials are trying to make urban life more sustainable. A sustainable agricultural model is being adopted by promoting local food. It is stated that earlier, the food system and cities were lacking in ecological protection measures and had failed the sustainability tests.
